Description

npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment variables, npmrc files, and in some cases, the package.json file.

See npmrc for more information about the npmrc files.

See config for a more thorough discussion of the mechanisms involved.

The npm config command can be used to update and edit the contents of the user and global npmrc files.

Sub-commands

Config supports the following sub-commands:

set

npm config set key value

If value is omitted, then it sets it to "true".

get

Echo the config value to stdout.

list

npm config list

Show all the config settings. Use -l to also show defaults. Use --json to show the settings in json format.

delete

edit
